and drama and happiness and sadness and dirt and cleanliness.”

isn’t Ric from The Cars? I too like walking around observing people, also the weird shapes trees get themselves into, the occasional ibis on the peaked rooves of the new units 🙂

People come together from everywhere
and they can chose to live anywhere
People do relax and play all over the place
and they’ll use any ground where there is space
People mostly aim to enjoy their time here on earth
and that’s the same everywhere, from Perth to Fort Worth

I guess he loved “seeing” the expression on Paulina’s face when she learned he cut her out of his will after 30 years of marriage. If he had lived and they had finalized the divorce, I imagine she would have gotten something from it. The way things happened, she got nothing afterward.
